Glad to help.
Else implies that you have to do something, or there will be a consequence. For example:
You have to fill in the correct form or else I won't be able to process your application.
You have to take your medicine or else you won't get better.
It can also mean 'in addition to' For example
Who else is coming to the party.
What else would you like to eat.
Where else would you like to go.
More means to a greater degree.
I have some milk but I would like some more.
Can you give me more information?
Is 25 more or less than 30?
I was more tired after baby sitting for my sister, than I was after running a marathon.
Does that help?

Eww. That's a hard one....in Spanish and maybe in portugues, it is mas.....only one way. It means the exact same thing in English. else, means more.
What else? What more (can be said)
Who else? Who more (not said)
Something else? Something more? (okay to use)
Anybody else? Anybody more (not said)
It's interchangeable in some instances and not said in others. you just have to remember when it's used and when it's not, I guess.

else means other or alternative. More means an increase in something

If I was serving tea at my house and you said you did not drink tea, I would offer you something ELSE. If you drank tea and finished your tea, I would ask if you wanted MORE tea.
